P/E of 31 seems correct. But this is is NBFC, so don’t think we can’t value it just based on P/E

Thank you Vishnu, for your prompt sharing of conference call details - as ever.
@pumba22
Alok, I recollect your worries on the price issue earlier too.
Rather, I would like to put a query across to you : “Where do you see the company 5 years down the line from now?”
It all depends on your conviction for the company, its future growth prospects & management quality.
I understand about the P/B. But still i look at P/E. I see that every financial site says its consolidated PE is 45 or so. They call cant be wrong. I am curious why the the PE is 45?.
FY16 EPS is Rs 242. Share price is about Rs 7300. So PE = 7300/242 = 30.
Yes. There are many factors to consider apart from PE. I wrote a post recently on analyzing NBFCs. Hope you find it useful. How to analyze NBFC companies?

Current book value is 1128 & P/B = 6.76. Assuming 25% growth in book value for next 5 years, the estimated book value would be 2850. If asset quality even deteriorates little bit or loan growth slows down, market would value Bajaj Finance at around P/B of 3 after 5 years. = 2850*4 = 11400
So if someone invest at 7200 level, the estimated returns are 9% CAGR - Assuming 25% growth and P/B valuation of 4 after 5 years.
I think risk is hight – expected returns from here might not be that great
Disc- invested from 1500 level

Interesting analysis. How did you calculate the book value to be 1128? My calculations tell me the book value is somewhere around 1400.
I took the latest balance sheet. Assuming book value = share holders equity / No. of shares, I got the book value to be 1400.
1400 book value is correct.

The meeting of board of directors is scheduled on July 26 to consider and take on record the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30. In addition to the same, the non-banking finance company today said the board may also consider sub-division of equity shares of face value of Rs 10 each and/or issue of fully-paid bonus equity shares. The proposal(s), if approved by the board, will be subject to the approval of the shareholders.

The stock price is now almost 8800 and on most of the matrices more expensive then Kotak Mahindra also, any idea what is marketing expecting from stock other than Bonus and stock split,
Just have a look at the valuation.
Current Market Capitalization 47000 Cr.
Last quarter PAT 315 Cr.,
Lets assume yearly PAT 315*4=1260 Cr.
PE =47000/1260= 37
Expected Growth in PAT 25%
Stock now looks very expensive,
any comments
Divested 60% holding
Bajaj Finance Q1 net up 54%; board approves stock split, bonus. The split is 1:5 and bonus 1:1. So, for every share, investor will get 10 shares post split & bonus.

I have missed the bus. Observing this stock since it was at 1500 levels. But due to its expensive valuation never bought it…Is there any other bus to catch …
Same case… looking at Satin Creditcare, Capital first now which look promising
Yes., Stellar Results.
It is one of my best holdings.
Attended the AGM today.
Exclusive innovation & execution by the CEO Rajeev Jain in operating the company.
It is always a treat to hear him.
It is rare to find the highest growth with the lowest NPA.
Disc : Invested.
